Folklore is fascinating to study because people are fascinating creatures. It is a diversified and complex subject because it reflects the whole intricate mosaic of the rest of human culture. Folklore is part of culture, but it is elusive, flowing along separately from the main stream of the major intellectual attainments of humanity. In traditional lore, however, there are counterparts for literary and representational art, Philosophical speculations, scientific inquires, historical records, social attitudes and psychological insights. Thus, the study of folklore is a sub-division of the broader study of people and their works and as such, folklore research has much in common with both the humanities and the social sciences.

Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow based on the passage:
Folklore is fascinating to study because people are fascinating creatures. It is a diversified and complex subject because it reflects the whole intricate mosaic of the rest of human culture. Folklore is part of culture, but it is elusive, flowing along separately from the main stream of the major intellectual attainments of humanity. In traditional lore, however, there are counterparts for literary and representational art, Philosophical speculations, scientific inquires, historical records, social attitudes and psychological insights. Thus, the study of folklore is a sub-division of the broader study of people and their works and as such, folklore research has much in common with both the humanities and the social sciences.
